New Morrey Volvo Cars Burnaby Offers A Unique Volvo Experience
Business News, web exclusives
Volvo Car Canada Ltd., a leader in automotive safety and sustainability, is proud to announce the opening of Morrey Volvo Cars Burnaby.
Following the recent opening of Volvo Cars Royal Oak in Calgary, the launch of Morrey Volvo Cars demonstrates further growth for the Volvo brand as it turns its focus to the Lower Mainland as a primary market for expansion.
With electric vehicle sales in British Columbia increasing in 2021, the opening of Morrey Volvo Cars Burnaby will help address the consumer demand for EV's and will better serve the growing sales and service needs of valued Volvo customers in Burnaby and its surrounding areas.
Volvo Car Canada Ltd. is a subsidiary of Volvo Car Group of Gothenburg, Sweden. VCCL provides marketing, sales, parts, service, technology and training support to the 38 Volvo automobile retailers across Canada.
"B.C. is a national leader in EV adoption, and the Lower Mainland is one of the prime markets around the country where we have been able to grow our brand," said Matt Girgis, managing director of Volvo Car Canada Ltd. "As such, we're excited to now offer our customers a retail location in Burnaby. Congratulations to the Morrey Auto Group and team on the opening of this address, and welcome to the Volvo Family."
Conveniently located on 1.5 acres on Still Creek Drive in Burnaby, the new Morrey Volvo Cars offers a unique footprint amongst luxury automotive dealerships in the surrounding area. The 15,675 square foot facility offers a full-service showroom for both new and certified by Volvo vehicle sales, 6 service bays, and is in the active planning stages of installing electric vehicle chargers throughout the property to support Volvo's all-electric future.
By the end of 2023, Morrey Volvo Cars Burnaby is also slated for a full renovation to reflect Volvo's design philosophy for all retail locations. Dubbed the 'Volvo Retail Experience' or 'VRE' for short, this facility design concept features both understated and modern Scandinavian design cues that reflect the company's Swedish roots.
"We're thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with Volvo Car Canada and are convinced that this new retail location will provide another convenient point of sales and service in Metro Vancouver to effectively serve the needs of our existing and future customers in this growing market," said Jason Morrey, of Morrey Volvo Cars Burnaby.

Merger Of Canadian Additive Manufacturing Firms To Create 'Powerhouse'
Canada: Javelin Technologies—specialist in 3D design engineering, additive manufacturing, automation and product data management, and Cimetrix Solutions—which provides additive manufacturing and laser scanning solutions to the industry and education sector, have merged to create a new 3D printing 'powerhouse'.
With this new merger, they are well-equipped to serve their collective 6,000 customers and to offer new standards of service and support. The companies' names will remain unchanged, and Cimetrix Solutions will be a division of Javelin Technologies.
Under this agreement, the new joint company's senior management will comprise John Carlan and Ted Lee from Javelin Technologies, and James and Kirsten Janeteas from Cimetrix Solutions. All current employees will be part of this integrated company.
"Our focus has always been on taking care of our customers by understanding what drives their business and providing solutions that affect the bottom line. By combining our expertise and resources, we can be even more responsive and provide even deeper application knowledge and advice," said James Janeteas.
The new company has branches at various locations across Canada—including Calgary, Dartmouth, Edmonton, Kitchener, Montreal, Oakville, Oshawa, Vancouver, and Winnipeg. Both partners have been contributing to high-growth sectors like energy, healthcare and manufacturing.
"We shorten the distance between idea and production, and help people and businesses execute well. Joining Javelin and Cimetrix means we are putting ourselves exactly where our customers will be and will need us to be," Mr Lee said.
Casey Thivierge, director of engineering at A.V. Gauge & Fixture— an industrial gauges and fixtures manufacturer, agrees that the merger between Javelin and Cimetrix will help customers.
"Javelin and Cimetrix have been an integral part of our growth and development through the years. Now as a unified team, they will become an even stronger force with even more tools and resources to help us. Working with both of them has been and continues to be an outstanding experience. They will continue to propel us, as well as other Canadian businesses, into the future of advanced manufacturing," Mr Thivierge commented.
Rich Garrity, president at Stratasys in the Americas, also said: "For the past 17 years, Stratasys has had strong representation in the Canadian market with our veteran partners Cimetrix Solutions and Javelin Technologies. The additive manufacturing landscape is changing at an ever-increasing rate and we value and need strong, industry-defining partnerships to help customers navigate."
